BLUFF AND STRUT!, by WILLIAM A. PHELON First Line: Bluff, bluff, and strut your stuff-- Last Line: Talk in large numbers, and then strut your stuff! Subject(s): Conceit; Duplicity; Lies; Deceit | ||||||||
BLUFF, bluff, and strut your stuff That is the trick to-day Bluff, bluff, and strut your stuff That is the winning way! Perhaps you are a star, and possibly You are the fiercest flivver on the map Your cleverness, or lack of any skill, As things are now, will matter not a rap. It makes no differenceif you throw a bluff, You can get byand always strut your stuff! Tell people you are great, and they will fall It's seldom they will ask an actual test Put on a haughty front, and they'll believe That you are what you saythe first and best. Never get worriedjust keep up the bluff, Talk in large numbers, and then strut your stuff! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HOW TO KNOW LOVE FROM DECEIT by WILLIAM BLAKE TO FINE LADY WOULD-BE by BEN JONSON THE LOVE OF DECEIT by CHARLES BAUDELAIRE LINES WRITTEN IN ROUSSEAU'S LETTERS OF AN ITALIAN NUN. by GEORGE GORDON BYRON TALE: 9.
